Elton talks too much.
http://jennpops.com/live-reviews-elton-john-the-02dublin/
You already know therefore considerably when it comes to this matter, made me in my view imagine it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men aren't interested unless it is something to do with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs great. Always handle it up!

i just wonder why they went for a surrogate mother, why didn't they make-up a child themselves; at least one should get pregnant, either john or David. can't a man get pregnant? they are trying to teach God what He does not know; that it is good for a man to marry a man. people blind-folded by the devil; filled with the desires of the devil. instead of searching for the truth and asking God for direction, they turned to the devil. oh! i am so sorry for as many that have decided to go this way. because of the this act the nation of Sodom and Gomorrah was brought to dust in one day.
I agree fully, Peter. If this is what GOD wanted and it is in the bible that its ok to be, "G.." then why aren't men able to have babies!! Marriage and romantic relationships are strictly between a man and a woman.
AS TRUE CHRISTIANS WE CANNOT AGREE WITH THIS LIFESTYLE.
WHY? BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE WHOLE BIBLE AS THE WORD
OF GOD. THE BIBLE IS CLEAR ON HOW GOD FEELS ABOUT GAY
RELATIONSHIPS. BUT DO I LOVE PEOPLE, YES EVEN IN MY FAMILY
THEIR ARE SOME WHO ARE GAY. IF THEY ARE IN NEED, I HELP
IF THEY ARE SICK, I TAKE CARE OF THEM. I LOVE THEM, JUST AS
MUCH AS I LOVE THOSE IN MY FAMILY WHO ARE FORNICATORS.
WE ARE DEEP IN THE LAST DAYS, I NOW HAVE TO KEEP MYSELF
HOLY BECAUSE MY SALVATION IS UNDER ATTACK....
I MUST STAND BEFORE GOD. I CAN'T STAND FOR ANYONE ELSE
WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICE.
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE CHOSE TO SERVE GOD
OUR SALVATION IS AT THE DOOR.
i love your post. God bless you!
Idiot.
This kid will never take a beating in his life unless from his parents. The kid is worth more money than you and everyone you know taped together. He will not go to school, school will go to him. His parents can afford to send him to any school they want, or buy him hi own darn school. He will not have to navigate a trailer park on foot to get to school like you did.
Children ought to be given a chance to form there own opinion about there own lives as they grow up, not someone else's opinion being thrown in their face everyday, all day. Poor baby will not get a chance to experience what blessing life can be with a beautiful wife and child. They will be forced to see life through this male couples' eyes. Totally wrong !
to each its own and leave MJ out of it.
ohh..another Christmas baby:) Alanis Morissette gave birth to her baby boy on Christmas day as well. Congratulations to both:http://babycelebs411.com/2010/12/27/alanis-morissette-welcomes-baby-boy/.
I listen to a radio station once ask foster children how they felt about being adopted by guy couples. The understood what they were being asked. The all said " why would they care if someone wanted them, someone cared about them, made them lunch for school, asked if they had homework , made them a birthday cake...etc". These kids would have been pleased and delighted to have been adopted by guy couples.
Congratulations to the proud parents.
Now for all you haters and judges.
1. You condemn this woman for being a surrogate parent, for "selling" a child. Would you be saying the same thing if this was a "normal" couple where the female could not have a child? What about private adoptions that occur every day?
2. Age, as many have stated it's a crap shoot how long we will live, what does it matter how old the parents are of any child, as long as they can provide and loving and stable environment for the child?
3. Have any of you haters been inside of their home, have you sat with them and ate dinner with them, are you a frequent guest in their home, what gives you the right to judge anybody unfit unless you know them personally. Take off your blinders and look around your own neighborhood, chances are there is an abused child living there, or do you turn a blind eye to it?
We should not be judging anybody, in the end only one will be our judge, so knock off the hate.
If you are gay then you cannot produce an offspring.........I really don't see the need for a child.
I agree flyonthewall ! They chose a lifestyle that will stop them from being able to reproduce. Its what they asked for so why make this adopted child suffer the consequences !
Gross...!!!
Congrats to the new family. As far as age goes, Rod Stewart is still having babies and no one says anything about HIM (and he's about the same age as Elton.) This child was welcomed and wanted. Cheers to all in the New Year!
So which one is the mom....
What a great day to be born ! Sir Elton will be a great dad,as well as his partner....all you need is love !
I guess if you've got money you can buy anything or do whatever you like, buy a baby in Africa or Asia or pay someone to have one for you. This baby wont want for anything, but money cant buy you love.
And with Child trafficking on the rise what are the possible ramifications from couples with money buying babies.
Congratulations to you Elton & David
I think that it is wonderful!
1) Nobody would be age bashing Sir Elton if he had a female partner. Everyone was happy for Tony Randall, and he was older.
2) Life is not a guarantee. Just because you have children before you are 25 doesn't guarantee that you will be there to watch them grow up any more than being 60+ means that you won't be around for their 16th birthday.
Sad what this world has become. Men with men, women with women. How can they get up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror knowing what they are "freaks", and u see these freaks more and more. Jeeze the men bat their hands like they are about to fly away.
How terribly sad for everyone in this mess...for the "parents," who "acquired" a child to make their lives complete and will soon discover he is just one more acquisition that doesn't satisfy...for the surrogate, who sold them a precious and unrecoverable piece of herself...and mostly for the boy, who will never know anything resembling a normal or healthy upbringing, but will certainly carry the effects of this miserable folly into another generation. And so it goes.
Wonder if they tried to plan the surrogate birth to take place on christmas and even if it wasnt expected for another day or two they induced it
What a true blessing! Wishes of good health and many memories of laughter & joy.
Absurd to use a surrogate instead of adopting a child that has lost it's parents, allowing surrogacy while there are so many human orphans on the planet seems dumb, otherwise if the kid is raised with love and attention why does it matter. Obviously the kid will get lot of abuse at school, also these guys are a bit old to become parents.. I became a parent at 36 and that seemed a bit late for me, these guys should almost be grandfathers by now. Obviously it's better to have a mother and a father because men and women have different and complimentary values, skills, etc. to offer their children.
I have no issue with gay parents adopting children or using a surrogate. But Sir Elton is old be starting a family; My hubby is 63 and father of 9 1/2 year old twins,and I see how he does not have the energy of a 35 or even 40 year old. My kids also have lost 3 of 4 grandparents already, missing this major component in a child's life; they will also have to deal with old parents at a relatively young age, when they may have their own small kids to deal with. There is a reason we are biologically made to have kids in our 20s and 30s. If I could change anything in my life, it would be to have had my kids in my late 20s or early 30s.
I work in an inner city poverty clinic serving mostly drug-addicted and HIV positive young women and their newborns. As the social system sees essentially every birth parent as a a fit parent, these babies often go home with non-compliant mothers who see them as a financial gravy train (once the infants have stopped screaming and shaking after weeks of medically assisted inpatient heroin and cocaine withdrawal). Many end up neglected and/or abused.
More power to Mr. John and Mr. Furnish who desire to be conscientious parents, and will likely raise a secure, happy child. It stinks that an HIV positive child was not granted the same opportunity at a better life.
Nothing sicker than an old gay man playing rump ranger. Makes u wonder if Elton is taking Viagra or if he is just playing the horse. The British are completely messed up.
The gay lifestyle is not natural! If any God or being of higher power (whatever your religion is) wanted gays to have kids, they'd be able to have them physically natural, that is with both partners contributing or able to. Since a MAN and a WOMAN is required to reproduce offspring that should be a BIG clue gays are NOT suppose to be parents.
If you don't want to have a child with your partner then don't. Leave everyone else alone and keep your religious crap to yourself.
Oh and 55alla2, you are an IGNORANT unintelligent PIG!!!!
B,utthole baby?
The bible says that its an abomination, a detestable sin (Leviticus 18:22)
My mother was 22 yrs old when I was born & died at the age of 36. Is that fair? No, but at least she gave me life just like Sir John is doing for his son. At least this child will be provided for for the rest of his life.
TO ALL THE Qu33rs in the world....you were made by your parents male and female....not male male or female femal....a female cannot get pregnate with anther female nor a male with a male. female with female is nothing but carpet muching and male with male is just packing ur S@#t back...its is plain nasty.. i doubt baby can come out of the male A$$.. wonder why.....being gay is not a right, is just not right peroid...so who is the once going to brest feed this unfortuninate child...... or teach him about the bird and the beez not the bird and the bird or beez and the beez.....
Im sure their child will be loved and healthy and there are many worse situations for a child to be born into...I feel like babies need their mommys though so bad... probaby why men cant give birth... i hope the birth mother is a part of his life. No ones deservers to be treated meanly i have gay friends but they know i disagree with the life style ... i wish every baby had a mommy and daddy to love them. good luck to elton and david
I've never understood why a man would want to dip his wee in poop unless he is a twisted disfunctional soul perverted by the devil.
How will they ever answer the "Where do babbies come from?"
Who Cares?
The good news is that these two turd tampers can't reproduce.
Plz! PLZ!
Adopt me too! I'm only 33.
Who got pregnant here? ELTON and/or DAVID? And, the MOTHER's NAME is? ELTON and/or DAVID? ....for I am not sure I understand it correctely.... Or there is this new technology that makes babies out of "butter & sour cream" nowdays?
Please inform me! Thank you much!!!!
"Hi dad....er...where's mom?"
"Oh don't worry son...here's another dad!"
Rocket Man
This is not meant to be this way. Man will be judged for their evil ways.
Dude this kid has got to have the longest, silliest name of all time.
"Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John" is the kind of thing kids have a field day making fun of. His shortest possible nickname will be ZJLFJ.
If we called straight marriage "Meeps" – the gay community would immediately want to be in "Meeps" relationships. Here's the deal – what ever you call two guys or two gals getting together and pretending their a family – is a joke. The sooner we figure this out – the less we'll all have to fight about it. Gays can have rights – it doesn't make them right because they're gay.....
Which one is breast feeding this new baby?
Poor kid to be put into a disfunctional "family" as that. Very very sick world we live in.
While Levon was born on Christmas day who is waiting for the NYT to report God is dead?
DISGUSTING.
Elton John is too old at this point to become a father. Period. He's in the realm of grandfatherhood now and has been for a while. And this gays raising children thing is just plain creepy! I know, everyone wants to be politically correct and most here are probably very young and think it's just dandy that the gays are marrying and having kids by surrogates. Surrogates are creepy too. Having a baby for someone else (and getting handsomely paid, I'm sure) is just creepy and wrong. Gays living as though they are normally married people (man and woman) is off-putting. And the biggest thing: OLD AGE! If Elton was hot to have a kid, where was he years ago? Oh wait, he was performing and busy with his career. At 63, the kid will probably not see his fathers at high school graduation, when Elton will be uh, 81. Hello, grandpa! If you think this is all great, then you are probably some idealistic individual with your head in the clouds – or up your back side!
So wrong on a number of levels ! Can you imagine the verse, "I miss the Earth so much, I miss my man !". Just wrong.
Really – they had to say via surrogate? You mean two dudes can't have a baby on their own?! I wonder why....?
i think the kid should be named ricky martin or lancee bass...sir john shouldn t u be called miss john.....
THE NAZIS KNEW WHat to do with gays ..they threw them in the oven alive!!
Is that what you would like to do? Sounds like a personal problem to me. You need a shrink....bad!
They'll make better parents than your parents did.
Now we know who your heroes are. Did you know you get to go straight(pun) to hell?
Wow! Levon! Oh super gay cool! Born on
Christmas day! Who gives a rat's behind about either one of these jokers who obviously implanted the wee-one to coincide with christmas & c-section guaranteed it.
i feel sorry for the kid once he finds out he has Qu33rs parents...hell if i found out my parents were qu33rs, i will jump off a bridge too
I am amazed at the hatred people harbor in their hearts in the name of religious belief. God will be each of our ultimate judges. Lets not forget the admonition of Christ to "Love one another as I have loved you." If Christ were to post a comment here, I think he might be repeating yet another of his admonitions.. "Judge not less you be judged."
Life is to be celebrated not berated because you have decided you are God and only you know the truth! You are worst that any terrorist we have known. You prevert religion just as they do.
Oh, for god's sake! No one knows how long they are going to live. A man 20 years old can become a father and die the next day. Just be happy for the time they will have together and stop the negatives. Thinking that way, why plan anything? You might die before you do it. I've never heard anything so dumb. Congratulate them and celebrate their happiness.
When a couple adopts, it's usually because for various reasons the woman doesn't get pregnant. In the case of these two guys, niether one could ever get pregnant, so perhaps the Laws of Nature should have been respected and not drag an innocent baby into an anal affair.
Congratulations to Sir Elton and Mr. Furnish. May they have long, happy lives together with their new baby.
BTW, one of my friends was born when her father was 56, and lost him when she was 36. I was born when my dad was 20 and lost him at 23. Age isn't always a good predictor of life span.
Disgusting. It makes me sick. Kids are not political weapons for perverts.
The other choice for the kid could have been dripping on the back of some tricks fart box, The kid will at least be alive to experience the death of parents.... like the rest of us.. get on with life you moaning sadoooos.
Congratulations to the proud parents of this every so fortunate child! What a Christmas gift!
And for you negative sayers.. focusing on Sir Elton's age.. my cousin's mother passed when she was only 13 and your right, it was hard on her. But her mother was only 43. So I ask you who is worse Sir Elton for wanting to love a child or GOD who took a childs mother from her at such an early age.
He was born on a Christmas Day... he shall be Levon! Brilliant and Congratulations!
Funny how peoples natural reaction to these men with child was, good for them and no one else should think different. I like the intolerance for intolerance. Hmmmm. Lots of selfishness going on.
I know what you mean. I lived in San Francisco for a few years and a lot of people there are so bent on their beliefs that they are being discriminated against or treated unfairly that they get loud, offensive and in-your-face if you don't back them. Not even disagree with them, but fail to totally take up their cause and they get super ugly.
"He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the ...
...And he shall be Levon"
Any one else find this strange?
Nasty old men. Yuck! Poor kid.....
To those who feel they need to critize, remember the words of the greatest man on earth...Do not judge lest you be judged.
So who is the mom and who is the dad?
You just embarrass yourself when you ask ignorant simpleton questions like that. Go sit down.
Congratulations to Sir Elton John and David Furnish!
This is gonna be so good for that kid... Everyone knnows that gays never have domestic issues or drama in their lives...
Yeah right, that is no way to raise a child.. All off you that agree with this are obviously sheep just getting sucked in to this perverse downward spiral. This world is going to burn.
@Rachel
Actually, religion is more natural. The religious dimension of the psyche has been a proven fact within analytical psych. (hint – it's a result of evolutionary meta-cognition and the self-domestication the ensued bc of it which has separated us from orginal relation to nature) You shouldn't talk about things you don't really understand, or just plain don't know. It's a shame this kid won't have a real mother, just a 2nd dad acting as one. But I shouldn't be casting pearls before swine and I also should never argue with an idiot such as you.
I feel so sorry for that baby! He is not going to have a proper childhood. They are too old to be raising children. The kid is going to be changing his parents diapers by the time he's in high school. How do they honestly think they are going to keep up with a baby at their age? Oh wait.. They're rich so they can just hire a nanny! This sickens me!!
I am guessing quite a few comments have been removed from this blog
People do determine when they want kids may be this a perfect time when he will have more time for the baby I personally wish them the best, kids are the most precious thing in this world, we cares what is their age as long as they have the love for the that's all matters God Bless the child
http://www.originalsmartcookie.com
sick sick sick . gays have no marriage and no "family". Adopt a dog or a cat. sick sick sick !!!!
Hey,
Nothing to do with this, but take a look at http://www.originalsmartcookie.com
What a concept!!
Idiots! the kid will probably commit suicide.
I am all for gay rights, marriage and all of that...but not adopting children
So you'd rather see kids go through a dozen foster care homes than have them full time in a stable and loving home with two parents?
What's wrong with you?
Yeah – what's wrong with you?
Why is everyone so thrilled? This child has been deprived of a mother on purpose.
Just for your information, there are many dads raising kids because the mother doesn't want them or is somehow out of the picture. Love can come from any gender. Fathers love kids as much as mothers do.
Parcae was right
David Furnish is Elton John's husband. Please respect their marriage by calling him such, not partner.
no, he is his gay partner. he is a male and his partner is a male. a male can not be a wife. a wife word means female person. these 2 sick people just bought themself a new toy, but instead of a puppy dog, they got a real kid. sick.
@Wolfman,
No one said he was trying to be Sir John's wife. Your assumption that the child is a toy must simply be a projection of your view of children. Now who's the sicko?
Go back to your cave.
@ Yalie... sick ? 2 old gay men buying a kid isn't sick ? Why did I call it a toy ? Because it was for x-mas and because it is what they think of this ! A person – a kid – needs parents. Real parents. a Mom and a Dad. Not 2 gay people in their 60's who has everything but a kid so they wanted one.
Its a sick act by all means and by all laws. no exceptions.
How can anybody even think this is normal ? it gets my stomach sick to think of what the kid will have to go through. The "Mom"'s money will come handy when he needs therapy and medication for depression.
Wolfman: You are severely misinformed. Children growing up in gay-parent households have no more or less chance of being happy and successful than those in other types of families. Normal? I invite you to have a look around after dismounting your high horse and join the rest of us in the 21st century. These two men are in a loving relationship with the love and the means to care for their son as well or better than anyone you may deem to be "normal".
Oh, I think that is just WONDERFUL!!! Since this is his first child, I HIGHLY recommend the book "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct" by Philip R. Greaves II.
@Percival
First of all, it's "Parsifal", and judging by your comments you are probably as much a Commie as Wagner. Secondly, if you really believe that Sir John and Furnish would benefit from that book, it's likely only because it's your own shelf. So if that was a point you were desperately trying to make, perhaps you should instead stick it to your toilet seat with a suction cup and sit on it. You'll find it ever so much more enjoyable.
Whomever it was that allowed this should be shot.
@Sickened
Hitler shot gay people. That's a nice association you have going on here.
That's pretty much what everyone says about you.
Congrats to Sir Elton & family on their new arrival.by the way his music is not crappy.Any child today who is loved is blessed.Any person who curses a blessing is also cursed because they donot see God is behind it all.
Wow,him and his partner became parents and this is what they get all the negativity?! John, may be 60+, but his partner is in his 40's...who knows when anyone going to die...geesh!!!
I wish both daddies the best and great good health the next 30+ years. 🙂
I don't condemn anyone for what they do, however it's not in the natural make of the way parents where meant or should be. Yes the child will financially secure but he'll miss something more important and that's a Mother! Personally, bad idea! But I wish you well.
Can we please not be mean. Whoever does not agree, that is fine. Please don't put down others for what they do. We are not the ultimate judge. Love all. If you feel its wrong then feel so but don't judge because that is wrong too.
LOL, Elton is old enough to be that childs grandpa! I love Elton and hope he at least lives long enough to see the child start high school though.

It seems this child is just BLING to the parents. Really...by the time the child figures himself out, his closest "parent" will be 60. This is pure selfishness. Don't tell me they adopted some kid that would never have a chance...I assume the child was profiled. I wouldn't be against this if the gay parents were near child bearing age.
Maybe if the government would allow gay people to live unharassed they would feel comfortable to raise a child sooner.
When I read the negative, hateful posts I realize why this world is so screwed up....why can't people live and let live. Good for Elton and his partner......why can't all of you negative, ugly people just disappear???
Agree. We should respect each other as long as we won't hurt anyone
Its Adam and Eve not Adam and steve. The age difference is just pure rich selfishness
Oh bushwa. My own mother and father were just lower middle class working folks with a 30 year age difference. Money has nothing to do with it and neither does selfishness. My parents were mad fools in love which was a great example for me and my sisters & brother.
Awesome!
Congrats, wish the family all the best. Hope for a great & long future for all of you. Pray you have concidered all of future possibilitys, & planed for them.
Which one of them is on breast feeding duty?
Congratulations Elton and David! And God Bless you and your new arrival. I only hope that god is just as willing to forgive the hate and ignorance of our fellow man. ( As seen above )
Hey, Congratulations! Everybody deserves to have a family, and I wish only the best for the both of you!
oooh I love Elton John! Congratulations, man who helped me through those teen years. k
Seriously? How friggin old are they? Forget that they are gay. Who cares. The kid will live in a different stratosphere anyway. But I can't help but feel sorry for these poor kids of old celebs who will lose their parents. It's a tragedy waiting to happen and a completely selfish thing to do.
My husband's parents were in their 40's when they had him 29 years ago. His mother is still alive, active and of sound mind .. heck, she still plays in the yard with the grandchildren & goes to all their games. His father passed away due to illness (genetic prostate cancer) just a couple of years ago, but he was healthy and active up until the illness took him (& please don't say anything about old people not being able to combat cancer because my stepmom just passed away 2 years ago from stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 30 and left behind an 8 year old son.)
You are ignorant.
He shall be Levon....
http://67.42.80.195
I just want to spotlight the fact that Elton John is not a US citizen. And that I don't like Elton John songs.
Thanks,
So? I don't recall anyone asking your opinion of his music or there being a question of his US citizenship. As if that's the pinnacle of awesome.
As you do not even like this fabulous performer why did you even blog. BTW, I don't think he cares that you lack good taste in music
your tv show sucked
And I would like to spotlight that Elton John does not care what you think at all.. As a matter of fact, he would not be interested in a non talent hater like you at all !
I like his songs just fine, but thats not the issue here. First off it's selfish on two counts. One his age (63) and two even though it may be legal in the UK this kid now has to grow up under the stigma of two male parents. Thats not fair to force this kid to grow up in a gay home. It's completely abnormal whether your pro gay or not. Regardless of your stance on gay marriage it's not right to force your opinion on anyone and thats exactly what they will do to this child. Two consenting adults can and should make their own decisions regarding this subject but they have now decided for this child.
As for anyone who says it's not abnormal...Please....
Why not a girl?
Why not a girl what? You mean why didn't they have a girl? You pretty much take what you get. I don't think you get a form that asks XX or XY? At least I didn't when I was pregnant.
Because genetics is funny that way, moron. You have a 50% chance of either. Did you not pay attention during health and biology class? They hired a surrogate.
Why don't you and Max get together, you are both shockingly ignorant and stupid..
CNN stop being PC grow a sack and call David Furnish. Elton's boyfriend.
As a matter of fact, they married in a state progressive enough to allow it. They tried to adopt , but were turned down – reason quoted, age. Real objection was probably OMG they're GAY!!! I'm a (decades ago) adoptive gay mom of a special needs girl, who charms everyone we meet. Now I'm 60, playing tag with cancer, & she's 34, with a wonderful person (straight) who will take her in if the cancer wins. Responsible parents start planning for that the day they become parents.
David Furnish is Elton's legal partner in the UK.
Gay marriage is legal in England.. Do your homework before you try being a hater ..
It really doesn't matter how old a parent is – a parent could be in their 20s and be gone before their child hits their teens, etc....So it is completely unfair to criticize the fact that he is 63 years old...it doesn't matter.....Congrats to both of them
Yes it does matter. Don't be so ignorant. Poor kid.
Zach Jack Levon Furnish-John , wow, they must really hate that kid.
LOL. Like.
WHEN ANYONE FROM HERE WITH NEGATIVE POSTS CAN WALK OR STAND ON WATER, then YOU CAN, MEAN WHILE... WE JUST HUMAN BEINGS, BLEED THE SAME COLOR, BREATH THE SAME AIR, AND LIVE ON THE SAME PLANET... ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE US
Please repost with the caps lock key off and proofread.
THAT'S RIGHT AND I SAY HITLER AND THE NAZIS SHOULD "GET A PASS"...WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE THEIR PAST DEEDS...QUIT TALKING ABOUT THEM AS IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG. WE CANNOT JUDGE!
Congratulations to the family.
For those that think having a kid at 63 is a problem, in twenty years ask the kid if it was a bad idea.
Better question, ask the kid if he would do the same thing. Tragic.
This kid is going to be a cross between Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Ricky Martin. A super Freak!
Wouldn't that be a Rick James?
If you want to know what is unnatural, its adults believing in myths and fairytales such as "god" and "jesus."
Actually, if you read other books apart from the Bible, you'd know that Jesus WAS a historical figure that DID exist.
@gasly130
Perhaps he did exist. But, where is the proof that his mother was a virgin who begot the son of a god. That is was is irrational...not that a man named Jesus lived and preached.
What historical books are you talking about? There is no physical proof that Jesus ever existed. He is just a myth. Congrats Elton.
Rachel – You're just trying to convince yourself that this is true. But, deep down inside you know that God exists and even that He is keeping you alive at this moment. Seek Him before it is too late.
Rachel,
You are an ignorant idiot.
God Bless
Jim there is more proof for the historical Jesus than there is for Alexander the Great...you water carrying idiot. Your one two punch of moral relativism and Scientific Materialism as the new "Secular Value System" that we must all adopt...don't mingle well...one is completely useless and the other is only good for measuring physical objects, they are both completely incompatible...Perhaps "Marx" could synthesize the two world views for you......
I think that's its great that they now really have a. Family that they both want now with there little angle added so for those who think its wrong get a, life because it seems they are happy with theres.Because the one above loves us all. latishs
Yes. It's all about them, not the child. Totally selfish to have a child at that age.

After trying to decipher what you wrote, its a wonder people like you think this is okay.
why?
Why not?
I think it is great seeing a gay couple have a child via surrogacy but I do have a problem with the matter that Elton is 63 years old. It is unfair to the child knowing Elton most likely won't be there when the child goes into his mid-teens.
Agreed. Thank you.
I wish the child a safe and happy childhood...
Not fair to the kid to have parent thats almost 64 years old. You never know the guy might not be around in five years.
What about all those women anymore who wait until their 45 to have kids no different at least Elton's kid won't go to college on our Social Security benefits!!!
Nothing says you're going to make it through tomorrow, or that Elton John won't live to be 100.
everyone has the right to have a family! congrats Sir plus 1!!!!
Everyone has the right to be selfish too. I hope this kid is well balanced and handles tragedy well.
When junior grows up, he won't need to buy clothes for 10 years (or rings).
congrades to a great singer and man to both u and ur pardner its nice to become a parent many blessings
Your grammar gaffes are completely unacceptable.
I'm so happy for you Sir Elton and David. You'll be great parents and he's a lucky boy to have you.
he is 63! Just going by average life expectancy the kid will have no dad by the time he is 12-16.
But he'll have a lot of money to cuddle with instead.
I'm concerned as well. David Furnish is 48. Furnish will be 68 when the boy is 20.
But I'm certain they will announce godparents/guardians just in case.
63 might be pushing it a little, but 48 certainly is not. My dad was 42 when he had his first and 54 when he had his last. He always felt having his kids late was what kept him young. He walked 2 miles a day, still looked like he was in his 60's and was very active until he was almost 84 when he unfortunately died of cancer....but not old age. Congrats Elton and partner.
He has 2 parents and @ age 48 David Furnish is 6 years older than my father was when I was born. Had my dad until I was 42 y/o...go blog on Hugh Hefner who stll has tots at age 85.
Good for them 🙂
The life expectancy of a 63 man would be roughly 18 yrs ... not 12. If he makes it to 81, then his life expectancy from there would be around 7 years more than that... and if he makes it to 88, his expectancy would be 4 years. Bottom line, their child will grow up with loving parents. They may be older, but their wealth will certainly assist in covering any age-related deficits that might appear as they get up in years. So lighten up!
I agree, this is pretty selfish. The kid doesn't have a choice about losing a parent at a young age.

-Please tell me Hefner does not pro-create!!! Please say it is NOT so!!
Who really cares what your point of view is? I am guessing that 99% of the time you are unheard and therefore this is your sounding board. Why is this a concern to you? Stop provoking absurd conversation and go and fight crime.......
well done, but 30 years too late. no fair
But... at least they are living the american dream. I don't fault either of them. And YES I DO SUPPORT "GAY" MARRIAGE!!!DADT needed to be repealed. They are just as human as all of the "regular" us. As my husband says, "if they do their job they are fine with me! Most guys don't even pull their own weight! If it has to be a gay guy then screw it... if the job has to be done".
Way to go Sir Elton! Congrats to you & David!
Congratulations!
Cool middle name. Always loved the song.
Congratulations to them all!
Congratulations!
Agreed re congratulations! They'll be great parents 🙂
This is wonderful news. I'm so happy for them. What a lucky child to get parents like this! Congrats Sir Elton John!! And to all those opposed to this......No one cares about your pathetic opposition. ZIP IT!
